Obama: U.S. must embrace Muslims to defeat terrorism

In a clear warning shot at President-elect Donald Trump, President Obama said Tuesday the U.S. can only protect the homeland against terrorism by embracing Muslims and encouraging a society “that can criticize a president without retribution.”

Speaking to special operations troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, Mr. Obama delivered his final speech on the war on terrorism as a thinly veiled reminder for Mr. Trump about “what we’re fighting for.”

.
“The United States of America is not a country that imposes religious tests as a price for freedom,” Mr. Obama said in a reference to Mr. Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslim immigrants. “The United States of America is not a place where some citizens have to withstand greater scrutiny or carry a special ID card or prove that they’re not an enemy from within.”

.
The president said the U.S. must remain true to its values that “each of us has a responsibility to sustain the universal right to speak your mind and protest against authority, to live in a society that’s open and free, that can criticize a president without retribution.”

.
Ahead of his speech, Mr. Obama issued a set of legal guidelines for using military force in counterterrorism operations. The 61-page document also seemed to be aimed at Mr. Trump, who has said he’ll allow the use of torture against terrorism suspects and has suggested killing family members of terrorists.

Obama: “If we act like this is war between US and Islam, we’re going to lose more Americans to terrorist attacks”

“We are fighting terrorists who claim to fight on behalf of Islam. but they do not speak for over a billion Muslims around the world. And they do not speak for American Muslims, including many who wear the uniform of the United States of America’s military. If we stigmatize good patriotic Muslims, that just feeds the terrorist narrative. It fuels the same false grievances that they use to motivate people to kill.”

Maybe they don’t speak for Muslims in the U.S. and worldwide. But they do appeal to them on the basis of Islamic texts and teachings and it does not “stigmatize good patriotic Muslims” to point that out. In fact, Obama is blocking examination of the motivating ideology of the jihadis, and effective action against them, by claiming that such actions would “stigmatize good patriotic Muslims.” Good patriotic Muslims should have no objection to study of the jihadis’ ideology; after all, they ostensibly reject it don’t they?

“If we act like this is a war between the United States and Islam, we’re not just going to lose more Americans to terrorist attacks, but we’ll also lose sight of the very principles we claim to defend.”

Why will we lose more Americans to terrorist attacks? Obama is apparently working from the assumption that any acknowledgement of how jihadis base their war against the U.S. on Islamic principles will be used by those jihadis to recruit more Muslims, on the basis of the claim that the U.S. is at war with Islam. We have to watch what we say, or else Muslims who might otherwise have been placid will turn to jihad. This, too, is a kind of capitulation. Obama is surrendering the freedom of speech without a murmur of protest. He is also foreclosing upon the possibility of any examination of the jihad ideology — because that would give the impression that the U.S. is at war with Islam.

“The United States of America is not a place where some citizens have to withstand greater scrutiny or carry a special ID card or prove that they’re not an enemy from within.”

“Obama: If We Make Terrorism a War Between the U.S. and Islam, We Will Lose More Lives,” by Pam Key, Breitbart, December 6, 2016:

Tuesday in Tampa, FL at MacDill Air Force Base, President Barack Obama said warned against the stigmatization of “good patriotic Muslims” and that it would feed the “terrorist narrative.”

Obama said, “We are fighting terrorists who claim to fight on behalf of Islam. but they do not speak for over a billion Muslims around the world. And they do not speak for American Muslims, including many who wear the uniform of the United States of America’s military. If we stigmatize good patriotic Muslims, that just feeds the terrorist narrative. It fuels the same false grievances that they use to motivate people to kill.”

“If we act like this is a war between the United States and Islam, we’re not just going to lose more Americans to terrorist attacks, but we’ll also lose sight of the very principles we claim to defend,” he continued. “So let me final words to you as your commander in chief, be a reminder of what it is you’re fighting for, what it is that we are fighting for. The United States of America is not a country that imposes religious tests as a price for freedom. We’re a country that was founded so that people could practice their faiths as they choose. The United States of America is not a place where some citizens have to withstand greater scrutiny or carry a special ID card or prove that they’re not an enemy from within.”…

Gibberish. Wrong on all counts. Barry Soetoro aka Hussein Obama speaks for Islam. He is always on their side, never on ours. Why? Because he is one of them. He was NEVER one of us.

He doesn’t believe a word about this shiite about “hope and not fear” and what “makes us stronger”.

Nothing Hussein Obama has ever done made the U.S. stronger. He sabotaged everything that makes the U.S. strong. He made the U.S. weaker on all fronts.

Obama: “No foreign terrorist organization” has attacked in US during my tenure

“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”

This completely ignores the fact that the Islamic State has repeatedly called for attacks by so-called “lone wolves,” i.e., people who are not in touch with the organization but who are inspired to act by its calls for jihad mass murder, to attack inside the United States. We have seen jihad massacres in San Bernardino, Orlando and elsewhere plotted or committed by Muslims who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. But now we see one of the strategies behind Obama’s consistent denial of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror attacks, and his classification of the Fort Hood jihad massacre as “workplace violence,” etc.: now he can claim that while he was President, there weren’t any jihad terror attacks.

“Obama: Terrorist Orgs Have Not ‘Successfully Planned And Executed’ Attack On US During My Tenure,” by Russ Read, Daily Caller, December 6, 2016:

President Barack Obama used the last national security speech of his tenure to review his legacy, specifically the claim that he prevented terrorists from planning and executing an attack on U.S. soil.

“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland,” said Obama, while speaking to troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla.

Obama’s assertion appears to focus on the more conventional al-Qaida-model of terrorist attacks. He did not take into account unconventional approach of the Islamic State, and the attacks its approach has inspired over the last two years.

Several successful terrorist attacks, including those in San Bernardino, Orlando and the New York metropolitan area, were carried out after ISIS propaganda radicalized American netizens….
